Endeavour Exhibition

Meet us at the Endeavour Exhibition and discover final-year industry, design and research projects developed by our engineering and IT masters students.

Throughout the year, our students work in collaboration with government and industry on these projects to solve real-world challenges. The Endeavour Exhibition showcases these projects, offering a unique opportunity for our students to demonstrate their engineering and IT capabilities.

With more than 130 diverse engineering and IT projects on display, members of the public, high schools, industry and current students are invited to attend.

Project students, Endeavour volunteers, Endeavour ambassadors and industry sponsors and partners participating in Endeavour are not permitted to vote.

How current students can get involved

There are two volunteer programs available to University of Melbourne students. As part of these programs, you can gain extracurricular experience and be a part of an exciting community. Benefits include:

The Endeavour Exhibition is a celebration of work crafted by final-year engineering and IT masters students. An exciting and integral part of the curriculum, the exhibition empowers students to hone their engineering and IT capabilities and apply their skills to real-world problems.

The Melbourne School of Engineering provides your organisation with the opportunity to engage with Endeavour in a number of ways.

Become a sponsor, partner or donor

Support the future of engineering or IT by sponsoring a student award at Endeavour:

Recognise high-performing student projects

Engage student talent for potential graduate recruitment

Participate in brand exposure opportunities

Foster and strengthen your connection with the University of Melbourne

Network with industry and student attendees at Endeavour Awards Night

A limited number of awards are available. Please contact us to discuss your award theme and application process by contacting us at endeavour-mse@unimelb.edu.au.

Host a Student Industry Project

Student Industry Projects are created in collaboration with industry supervisors and an academic supervisor from the University. Organisations can work with an individual student or a small group, for either one or two academic semesters, depending on the project.

Your organisation is able to oversee the project, and when complete, you can apply the design and research to your organisation. Projects can take place on-site at your location, at the University with your regular input, or a combination of both. Projects will be showcased in October at the Endeavour Exhibition.
